I was in the audience at this recital and Bogdan was so nervous that I wondered if he was going to be able to sing properly but he kept control. His voice is powerful and beautiful and his top notes are amazing. His coloratura technique is stunning. He sang an encore in his native tongue and this somehow relaxed him and his voice moved to an even higher level of beauty and subtlety. If he looks after his voice he is going to be fantastic.
I would agree with your assessment. I like a tenor voice that has some richness in the sound, and for me, Florez has a thinner, reedy sound. I wouldn't say he doesn't deserve the attention or success, but we all react differently to the timbre of the human voice. Bogdan has the most beautiful sound, to my ear, of any of the crop of younger tenors. He has the dark/light quality, with just enough sweetness in the sound. And of course there is his amazing agility.
I am a huge fan of Bogdan Mihai and I want to thank you for this post! I look after his videos on your channel ! His newest post - th-cam.com/video/aQYsguNVgv8/w-d-xo.html Have a nice day !
Belle voix, excellente technique. Toutes les notes sont chantées. Dommage qu'il se trémousse en chantant... il a du coup l'air d'en baver, le pauvre. Comme le définissait un chanteur vu dans un reportage, le chant rossinien s'est "en baver, mais ne pas le montrer" !
He supplants all my previous leggero tenor idols, Bjorling, Schipa, Alva, Araiza, Brownlee, even Florez--move over! Just too bad Rossini never lived to hear him!
We all have our preferences . Personally I have never liked Florez voice , I find it rather thin and rasping . I much prefer the sound of Bogdai ; many tenors start out as baritones ; Bogdai never sounded like a baritone . What is wrong with being a tenor leggero ? This young man has remarkable musicianship and vocal agility .
@skitzo429 he sounds nothing NOTHING like LBLEE. sometimes its not about how fast you sing. ONe question? Whats with the dancing on the first long melisma?
the coloratura passages at the the end are way to fast, doesn't relate the the opening. Bravo though you can see he's tryin his best, must have been a night of nerves.
I agree there is potential. He needs to stay put a little bit more so he to get the body in the sound that's missing. Other than that, runs are very impressive...still would like to hear that warmer sound since this is bel canto :) to much throat singing where the support comes from the throat...just what I'm hearing is all.
Bogdai was a baritone who switched to tenor repertoire after a studio with Mirella Freni. It's crazy, neither dramatic ori lyric tenor, but leggero?!? It's definately not his nature and he risks severe damage, just a matter of time in my opinion. His coloratura is great though.
Why is he making up notes?. Several and coloraturas are not in the sheet music.... in fact he's making some of them easier. Don't like, I love his voice, though.
sicuramente la voce e' molto bella. Agilita' tanta, forse troppa. Nella seconda romanza non occorre troppa agilita ma magari un po piu' di sentimento. Comunque e' molto giovane e, si spera si raffini. Curerei di piu la dizione fossi in Lui e quei movimenti eccessivi del corpo ad ogni vocalizza. Non sono molto belli. Sembra abbia il prurito. Pensate se la Horne, Blake e co si fossero mossi cosi ad ogni vocalizzo. Sarebbe sembrato uno spettacolo dei muppets.
Cannot stop wondering what is wrong with his singing...I have heard him on so many occasions and a slight wobbly sound seems to be present and the vibrato on high notes quite unsettling, not at all like all the other legger tenors from history and nowadays....Therefore I honestly do not understand why he is given such importance cos lets be honest, this is just mediocre singing and Mr. Mihais and Brownlee and Florezes technique are beyond comparison. Also too dirty singing for Rossini.
Unbelievable! Great! Thank You!
Superb. Superb. Please, come sing in Madrid
Really excellent skills going on!
Remarkable felicity in the fioritura....reminds me some of Rocky Blake
Enjoyed this!
Where has this superb tenor been hiding?

Try listening to Maxim Mironov. Nice sweeet tone. Great for a leggerio enor.
Comme dirait Rossini lui même: bella voce!!!!
Awesome job
very nice
His body movements are a bit much but so cute ... what an amazing voice and technique!!! Anyone who can sing this repertoire has my total adoration!
Very nice leggero voice!
felicitari!
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! Did you watch the other videos of Bogdan Mihai on our channel?

Thank you for this video with Bogdan Mihai, our romanian golden tenore !!! What other videos with him ? I don' t listen them ! Thank you again !
@skitzo429 So we hope you will enjoy the videos of his Rosenblatt recital in May 2010 on our channel! We have just added another video of him today.

@skitzo429 Thank you for your comment! Did you watch the videos of Lawrence Brownlee's Rosenblatt recital on our channel as well?
bravo
Foarte buna interpretarea!
He supplants all my previous leggero tenor idols, Bjorling, Schipa, Alva, Araiza, Brownlee, even Florez--move over! Just too bad Rossini never lived to hear him!
Hermosa voz pero debe controlar su forma compulsiva de moverse.
@rosenblattrecitals no, but im familiar with his voice
Grande technica però perchè si muove così tanto !
Perché e vivo e non impalato, come tanti altri!!! Vive quello che canta!!!😉
Florez did also change some notes ...
Что за уроды поставили дизлайки???... Сами-то, наверное, и двух нот не свяжут.

God bless the armchair critics.
@skitzo429 this is a wonderful leggerio but he sounds nothing like brownlee (who sounds nothing like florez)...two very different outstanding voices.

Other than that, runs are very impressive...still would like to hear that warmer sound since this is bel canto :) to much throat singing where the support comes from the throat...just what I'm hearing is all.

Interesting interpretation, but a little bit weird.
he sounds a lot like lawrence brownlee

dommage.. trop vite..

Bogdane you are good ...beter, many beter than Diego ! Marko
He's trying too hard.....
toppo in gola ,e non si capisce come si riesci cantare così

Asta nu e voce de pământean.
Wow. That was crappy.
Hell, no.
You Suck, Caro Mio. Io La Canto Meglio :-)
